Creole Succotash

Made: August 18, 2011

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh slices (1/2 in thick)
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 cup fresh or frozen lima beans
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon black better
- 15 grape tomatoes, halved
- Salt & ground pepper

Directions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil
- Boil the okra sliced for 1 minute.
- Drain & rinse the slime off the okra.
- Bring more water to a boil in the pot & repeat the boiling and rinsing process; set aside.
- Melt the butter in the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the lima beans, corn, onion, garlic, okra & pepper to the pan & cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent & the beans are tender (5 min)
- Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 minute to heat through.
- Season to taste with salt & pepper.

I didn't use okra or the garlic. Rob is the only one who eats that, so I used lima beans, corn & onions only. I didn't feel like I cooked the lima beans enough, but they did give a crunchy contrast instead. :D I also used Roma tomatoes since I love the taste of them. They're bigger than the grape, but also gave it the extra flavor. :) I do have to limit the onion flavor, it's all I smelled when I cooked it.
